| 4 Data Reporting Service | |
| 5 ====================== | |
| 6 | |
| 7 ``/services/datareporting`` contains files related to an XPCOM service | |
| 8 that collects and reports data within Gecko applications. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 The important files in this directory are: | |
| 11 | |
| 12 DataReportingService.js | |
| 13 An XPCOM service that coordinates collection and reporting of data. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 policy.jsm | |
| 16 A module containing the logic for coordinating and driving collection | |
| 17 and upload of data. | |
| 18 | |
| 19 sessions.jsm | |
| 20 Records Gecko application session history. This is loaded as part of | |
| 21 the XPCOM service because it needs to capture state from very early in | |
| 22 the application lifecycle. Bug 841561 tracks implementing this in C++. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 There is other code in the tree that collects and uploads data. The | |
| 25 original intent of this directory and XPCOM service was to serve as a | |
| 26 focal point for the coordination of all this activity so that it could | |
| 27 all be done consistently and properly. This vision may or may not be fully | |
| 28 realized. |
